FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT
 
The Company measures certain financial and non-financial assets and liabilities at fair value on a recurring or non-recurring basis. The Company uses a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, essentially an exit price, based on the highest and best use of the asset or liability.

The levels of the fair value hierarchy are:
 
 Level 1:Observable inputs such as quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
 Level 2:Observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data
 Level 3:Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data, which require the use of the reporting entity’s own assumptions
 
The carrying amounts reported on the Consolidated Balance Sheets for cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, other receivables, deposits, prepaid expenses and other current assets, property and equipment, advances to vendors, accounts payable, accrued expenses, and legal reserve payable approximate their estimated fair market value based on the short-term maturity of these instruments. Additionally, the carrying amounts reported on the Consolidated Balance Sheets for the Company’s term loan, operating lease liabilities and other long-term liabilities approximate fair value as the related interest rates approximate rates currently available to the Company.

Financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety within the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level of input that is significant to their fair value measurement. The Company measures the fair value of its marketable securities and investments by taking into consideration valuations obtained from third-party pricing sources. The pricing services utilize industry standard valuation models, including both income and market-based approaches, for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly, to estimate fair value. These inputs included reported trades of and broker-dealer quotes on the same or similar securities, issuer credit spreads, benchmark securities and other observable inputs.

(1) The fair value of digital assets - receivable, net was estimated using the market approach, utilizing observable market prices and other relevant market data, which are considered Level 2 inputs. Refer to Note 6 - Digital Assets - Receivable, Net, for further information.

(2) The fair value of the derivative instrument was estimated using a discounted cash flow approach that considers various assumptions including current market prices and electricity forward curves, which are considered Level 2 inputs. Increases (decreases) in market prices and electricity forward curves could result in significant increases (decreases) in the fair value of derivative instruments. Refer to Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - Derivatives, for further information.

(3) Represents the estimated amount of acquisition-related consideration expected to be paid in the future as of December 31, 2024 for the GC Center Equity Holdings, LLC acquired on January 12, 2024 and the Arkon Acquisition as of November 5, 2024. Increases (decreases) in the probability of achieving the milestones could result in significant increases (decreases) in the fair value of the contingent consideration. Refer to Note 3 - Acquisitions, for further information.

The Company includes the above money market funds and U.S. treasury bills in cash and cash equivalents on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company’s U.S. treasury bills have original remaining maturities of three months or less when purchased.
